Audit representation is critical when you’re facing an IRS audit or an IRS collection action. Both situations can feel overwhelming — even when you’ve done everything right. The letters, the documentation requests, the unexpected notices, and the uncertainty about what the IRS is really looking for… it’s a lot for anyone to navigate alone.
At Ascension Tax Solutions, we remove that pressure. With direct experience as a former IRS Revenue Agent and as a former Special Agent (in contexts related to audits and collections), we understand exactly how both audits and IRS collections work — what triggers them, how the IRS evaluates your situation, and the most efficient path to resolution. Our role is to protect your interests, manage communication with the IRS, and guide you through every step with clarity and confidence.
An audit is simply a review to verify the accuracy of your tax return, while IRS collections involve the government’s efforts to recover unpaid taxes. Both can escalate quickly without the right representation. Whether you’re facing a documentation-heavy audit, a sudden notice of tax debt, wage garnishment, a bank levy, or a looming tax lien, expert guidance ensures nothing is overlooked and that your rights are fully protected.
You don’t have to deal with the IRS alone. We handle the details — the calls, the letters, the negotiations, and the strategy — so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
IRS audits demand precise communication, detailed documentation, and a deep understanding of how the IRS evaluates tax returns. Without experienced guidance, it’s easy to offer unnecessary information, overlook key details, or misinterpret what the IRS is truly asking for — all of which can complicate your case.
That’s why expert representation matters.
At Ascension Tax Solutions, we’ve been on the other side of the table. With firsthand experience as a former IRS Revenue Agent, Special Agent, and Revenue Officer, our team understands exactly how IRS auditors think, what they focus on, and how cases are developed. This insight allows us to stay several steps ahead throughout the process.
When you choose us to represent you, we:
Conduct a thorough review of your records before the IRS ever sees them
Prepare clear, accurate responses tailored to what the IRS is truly requesting
Handle all communication directly with the IRS on your behalf
Attend meetings and advocate for your best outcome
Identify issues proactively to reduce the risk of adjustments or penalties
Our approach is methodical, strategic, and grounded in decades of federal tax experience — giving you confidence, clarity, and protection at every stage of the audit.
We pride ourselves on a structured and client-focused approach to audit representation. Here are five key ways we provide exceptional IRS help:
An IRS audit doesn’t have to derail your life or your business. With Ascension Tax Solutions, you gain an experienced, strategic advocate who knows exactly how the IRS operates — because we’ve been on the inside. We provide clear guidance, strong representation, and calm leadership throughout the entire audit process so you never have to face the IRS alone.
Your focus should stay on running your life and your business — not deciphering IRS demands. We handle the communication, documentation, and strategy so you can move forward with confidence.
Protect your financial future.

An IRS collection action begins when the IRS believes you owe taxes that remain unpaid. This can happen for several reasons — a balance due on a filed return, a missed payment plan, unfiled returns, or additional taxes assessed after an audit. In some cases, taxpayers aren’t even aware they owe money until the IRS begins sending notices.
Once the collection process starts, the IRS will continue escalating its efforts until the balance is resolved. That can include letters, penalties, interest, liens, wage garnishments, or bank levies. The earlier the issue is addressed, the more options you have — and the easier it is to prevent aggressive enforcement.
At Ascension Tax Solutions, we help you understand exactly what caused the collection issue and what the IRS is expecting from you. We perform a detailed review of your financial situation and tax history so we can identify all contributing factors and develop a clear, strategic plan to resolve the problem efficiently and protect your assets moving forward.
